The exception is thrown here:

     version(Windows)
     {
         alias TypeTuple!(GENERIC_READ,
                 FILE_SHARE_READ, (SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES*).init, 
OPEN_EXISTING,
                 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN,
                 HANDLE.init)
             defaults;
         auto h = CreateFileW(std.utf.toUTF16z(name), defaults);

         cenforce(h != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, name);    // <-- HERE

It seems to be related to a Unicode encoding issue, possibly the 
encoding that the console is using. (I am assuming that getfilename() 
reads from the console.)

It could be about file access rights as well.
